Students pursuing the B.A.(Education); Major in Education in Global Contexts engage in a program that positions educators as social changemakers and problem-solvers. These Education undergrads apply their learning to a summer internship after their second year of studies, opting to work in various business/non-profit sectors, and organizations, in locations in Quebec or around the world. Students search for and secure their internship placements, but many of these opportunities may be unpaid or require travel, creating financial barriers that can limit student access. The funds raised on ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ24 will directly support these B.A. students by providing stipends covering expenses such as travel, accommodation, and living costs during their internships, enabling them to focus on their learning and professional development without the stress of financial constraints.
